This is Ivan Grixti, failed Labour Party candidate in the last general election. His brother Alfred is a former Labour Party high official and Labour mayor of Haz-Zebbug, who the incoming Labour government first appointed chairman of the Employment & Training Corporation and then chairman of the Social Welfare Foundation.
